No worries A96HondaAccordEX, you can avoid the early issues they usually have when they first drop a new gun.  Then buy it in a year.  

It looks great though.  It reminds me of the FNS.  A mix between an M&P and a FNS.

the new CZ is interesting too.

So many guns. So little ammo and funds.

I hope they still use the same magazines. Curious what the cut outs in the front of the frame are for.

Yes, yes, but what I want to know is...what is a 2.0 trigger going to be?

More or less mush? Apex type or sear and an actual reset that is audible when function checking it after re-assemblies?

Looks like it has the Shield 45 grip texture, if so, I'm sold.  Sign me up for a 45 ACP or three.

There is a thread going on over in GD about this, too.  The consensus seems to be that the M2 may be a "modular" frame, like the SIG 320.  From the photos it looks like they repositioned the serial number to the front of the frame, and those cutouts are to display the serial number.  Don't know why they are on both sides - perhaps to show some other types of markings?

Yeah i just zoomed in and saw the serial number on the one side. My bet is modular as well. Ill be in line for one if they use the same magazines and fit in the same holsters. I think it looks great.

I think they look great, and are nicer looking  than those I already own, but I don't believe that they're modular and I'm guessing that they use the same magazines as the legacy models.

I truly hope they changed the way the barrel locks up.
Link Posted: 12/18/2016 10:46:33 AM EDT
[#11]
I'm anxious to see it. So many questions. Full length guide rail? Fixed barrel lockup? Apex trigger parts capability? Is apex even needed anymore? Same magazine?  Serial number removed from frame and attached to FCG? Adding the .45, shield and compact models to the m2.0?

Due to the election I could not wait for the rumored m2.0. I'll probably pick up the fullsize 9 and compare it to my m&p with full apex and a stippled grip.

Look closely at the photos...QR code in the large square, and SN in the smaller. Could it be modular internals like P320?

The pins are still present in the frame near the trigger and grip tang. If the frame is modular it still might require tools to remove the chassis.

That would be a little dumb, but even the pins now are pretty damn easy to drive through to yank the guts.

If this gun is a product of the Army MHS, I could easily see the Army wanted tooled vs tool less...just spitballing

Neat, but nothing to make me want to sell my FS45. I would guess that that left side slide stop has something to do with the new trigger.

One of the guys at the department was lucky enough to pick one (the only one) up at academy a few weeks ago. It is the 9L model in FDE. Over the last few days we have put 3K rounds through it with no cleaning. We haven't had one single malfunction using wolf and WWB. It shoots great, the trigger is a huge improvement and actually feels better than my Apex'd out M&P 9 pro 5". Now to get him to sell it to me. He paid well under $600 out the door. I have a G19 but hate the thing but do carry it often. This trigger in the 2.0 puts my G19 and apex'd M&P to shame.

I do have several contacts in the distribute side of firearms and a few of thous are heavy S&W dealers. Last word is, dont look for the main release anytime soon as they have yet to see any paperwork on it. late 2017 is what many in the industry is looking at for a release.

Thought it mentioned the trigger in the M.2 is just the Pro series trigger.

I hope that is not the case.

Cut off wheel, hand file to profile it  and some light sanding to smooth.  Turned out fine and looks stock.  Total time was less than 5 minutes.

I hated that beaver tail.  It serves no purpose for me- I don't have fat hands and the backstrap is deep for the web of my hand.  way to big.  I've only been bit by a slide on a 1911 once.  It was a basic a1 and I use a thumbs forward high grip...  got me once, changed my grip and kept going.

Yes, a shorter/smaller beaver tail would have been better.

I have decent sized meat hooks and get a high grip so getting cut by pistols is all too common. The M&P is one of the few that hasn't bitten me.

There is a pretty lengthy video review on Brownell's bookface page if anyone cares to watch. It covers the new series pretty well.

My takeaway is the 2 0 is really not a 2.0 but rather a A1. It has some minor ergonomic changes and supposedly tighter tolerances but otherwise is unchanged. No modular chassis.

Hopefully this link will work

I watched long enough to find out a few things.

That little button in front of the slide stop is more of the slide stop....

Also they removed my favorite feature..... When you slam the mag in the slide no longer goes into battery.
I wont be buying a 2.0 if this cannot be reverted.

I LOVE the fact I can release the slide by being a bit firm with a mag insert.

Well I braved the "Polar Vortex".
And went out and shot mine.  
fde 5" with safety btw.  No it isn't modular.
I had 3 oem extra mags and a Promag junker.  About 125 rounds.  Independence aluminum cased fmj, really just cci blazer, opened box of 100.  And 50 Geco 124gr.
One premature slide lock with the projunk on the last round.  Not sure why just the pro mag I guess.
Other than that it shot good no function issues with the new mags and leftover old oem ones.  
I did strip it and wipe the grease off last night though.  Used mobile 1 5-20 synthetic as a lube.  
Let the thing freeze then blazed away.  Hop back in the truck to warm up.  Targets were just rocks n other junk.
It is colder than a well diggers ahhs in the Klondike.

Very well but we mainly ran it IDPA settings. My LGS ordered the 45acp model for me this morning. I should have it in 48 hours to see how well it does suppressed. Most of the dealers have the dealer shows coming up next week. hopefully we will hear about a release date on the compact 2.0

To the persons asking about the cut out on the dust cover, from what I could tell its because it runs a full aluminum block under the polymer
